Just testing...Again

Craigslist Table: Before and After

I bought this table, a similar coffee table and end table on Craigslist for $120.00!  I sanded the top down, restained it, and put polyurethane.  For the legs, I painted them with brown semigloss paint.  The chairs were stripped down and repaired with wood glue and wood bondo and then painted brown to match the table chairs.  I then reuphostered the seats.  It came out really nice if I do say so myself!

Acrylic Word Book

I can't believe we are already heading in to the last full week of August!  I am not sure where the summer went.  The kids and I went to their new school today to meet their teachers.  I can't believe that they will be going to 3rd and 1st grade!  I am so excited for them -  making new friends and learning all kinds of things (I am sure both good and bad, but hopefully way more good).  Have a great weekend everyone.

This is a project that I made last year, but I had some requests for pictures so here it is.  If you have any questions about how it is made, etc. just leave me a comment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Just testing something out.

Baby Rattle Shaker Card

Here is a super cute shaker card I made for my good friend Marie.  She is due to have her baby Ryan anyday now and I can not wait to see the pictures of him!
